Cookies: Cookies must be turned ON.

Cookies should be set to "accept all cookies". Cache should be set to "1" or the lowest possible setting.

Check that newest version of stored page is set to "every visit to the page".

TCP/http: Firewalls are configured to allow http on port 80 to the internet.

User Authentication and Timeout value: If user authentication is enabled on a proxy server or firewall, the session timeout value should be set to at least be equal to the length of the test (mps at least 60 minutes). This will help prevent users from losing their session with the proxy server or firewall while testing.
